Distension Beta Suggestions/Bugfix thread

[MBananas]

Javs

• approximately 35% of players are currently playing in this ship...this info could make my point clear by itself whereas the 60% remaining is shared with other 7 ships and that would make an average percentage of 9.28% for each ship, but lets go further...
• Javs have lvl2 bomb accessible before rank 40, its damage is higher than a lev bomb at pub (it's not rare to see a jav killing 5 or even 7 people in a shot...and you dont really need to be a dis nerd to confirm this)
• Javs have multiple (3!) lvl2 bullets...it's not rare to see a jav shooting it right before he miss their super overpowered bombs...I think dug decided to give them a 2nd chance if their aim sucks
• After all, if the 2 above weapons didnt work out and the jav really really really sucks, jav ship features a lvl2 shrap (they can have over 8 at once!!), these shraps can take 1400 of your nrg (I bet only a few players has more than this, and they definetely wont stay at full charge praying for a miss!)...
• If all those things were enough.....but no, this weak and miserable lil and harmless ship got blessed by a rocket just to make sure they will get 2 or 3 enemies least before they die....and I invite everyone who are really interested in not make this fabulous event called distension lame and worse than pub, just check their 2:1 ratio avg

Oh, and I forgot to answer...what wbs have? well, compared to javs, lancs, spiders and terrs....the truth? nothing...but you can turn on your emule or your p2p programs, I bet how lag will be your best friend....(oh..javs can lag aswell :/)

Thank you for your attention

This should have been posted here so I apologize for it not being better announced. The 2pm EST test is now typically started at 1:30pm EST. I will not be on early enough to start this one so it's all up to Leftie or dug. It will still run for 1 hour so come in a bit earlier than usual to catch the entire thing. The 7pm EST test hasn't changed.

Timer:
I'm digging the new timer. The 1 FR game feels about right -- need to play more 2 FR games though to comment on it.

ok, enough is enough. i'm not deleting posts and happily going on my way anymore.

if you don't have anything relevant, constructive or in some way helpful to contribute to the thread, DO NOT POST IN IT. if i see any more "distension sucks/no one cares about this" posts, i will assume that the poster(s) read and ignored this warning, and they will be given swift and severe punishment(s).

that's the only warning i'm giving on this matter. dug's been busting his ass on this for a while now, and he doesn't need to waste his time reading textual diarrhea. if you don't like distension, great, more power to you. stop clicking on this thread. problem solved.

Distension just crashed

As I just said distension crashed around 1:50 pm EST... we don't know what caused it, the round was just ending and some people said that a shark and a weasel were sitting on flag don't know if that will help

They moved it back 30 minutes?! I'm gonna have to wake up earlier now. And Cheese! why do you hate me. (

[roxxkatt]

I hate those doors.

good thing i was using them to keep you and you alone out.

There has got to be some sort of leniency with the lower ranked ships

this is a beta where everyone is a simalar level. public wont be the same.

how about making the ops more involved

OP is very slow, +1 would throw the game off quickly.
ops is abilities / time, nothing else.

these are in order the hardest ships

5,7,3,8,1,2,4,6

ward is an idiot

agreed.


today, the one flag took about 80% of the beta time, and id like dist to be more 2 flag based.
the draw freature is working, but i like games nice and long, and have to be won.
send me the f1 text and i can finish it for you.

Found a bug today,

I was flying around in my lanc and I got M.A.S.T.E.R Drive, after a bit of testing I think I know what caused it, I would get a streak and since after every kill the % increases it would start after enough kills after the streak.

Ok update on this bug...

I got it to work in my terr with super very sweet but never got shield, thats weird but that is like lanc... I only ever get shield in lanc never super... also I was talking to oops who was going streak crazy in terr and he was up to 28 kills and if my understanding of the bug is right that would be 23% chance of a shield or super and from my experience he should have... so I got to thinking maybe this bug exists only for people who have M.A.S.T.E.R Drive in wb?

Just a thought

2kill

P.S. dug do you know that they have moved the first test time back 30 minutes? I haven't seen you yet so I was wondering if you knew

[Edit: I just remebered that I did get a shield once in terr my bad]

I've come here to complain because I lost in a children's game

I hate those doors. Yes I know there's many strategies against them but I still hate them. Most of the time I lose the will to play just because they pop up. There shouldn't be a game god, or Ops w/e you call them, out there. I hate god and I hate ops.

Ive read about 10 posts of the 800 in this thread, but I think there is an issue with something. There has got to be some sort of leniency with the lower ranked ships, I really wanna try out that OPS thing so Ive been trying to rank up the ships Ive never played. (X, Lanc, Levi) So when I logged on today, I only got to play for about 20-25 minutes and managed to go 7-114 and gain 1 level in my X due to all the high ranking players swarming me, 2 or 3 in paticular. Not only because Im really annoyed right now, but I think there should be some sort of consequence for this, like losing some RP everytime you kill a low ranked ship more than say....15 times in a row. Todays test was fucking rediculous. (Thanks skatarius and Birthday Party)

well thats some faggotry right there.

but i agree to the slow leveling of very underleveled ships. i agree that there needs to be a high/low rank caps, but sometimes it seems a bit rediculous. i could get in a level 20 ship and kill a level 40 person and cash in, but if i kill a level 41 guy, you get diddly (at least thats how it used to work i think). if you manage to kill the person 20 levels above you, shouldnt you get exactly that much for killing a guy beyond that? same thing works for lvl 1 people just starting out in a world of 30+'s. if you manage to kill a level 20 person as a brand new ship, shouldnt you get the same 'max' reward if you manage to kill a guy thats even higher?


if thats the way it is and im just confused, i apologize

I'm sorry to all the people I totally owned abusing this bug

rofl gg whoever silenced that ignoramus

[jngy slate]

Today I got my first 20 kill streak. On the second test. But it also was one of the times I got the least kills overall. o_O Probably cuz it was so short.

I left a msg for rii but he hasn't been on in more then 10 days.....

[Aquatiq]

how about making the ops more involved with and more dependent on what's happening in the game? i mean like certain things that happen will give it OP points or make it lose OP

just examples...

+1 OP for every 5 enemy base terriers that die
-1 OP for every 5 of your own team's base terriers that die
or like +1 or -1 Comm. point for every break/hold your team makes, and break/hold the enemy makes?

this isn't really a means to an end, it's not intended to make ops vulnerable, but I think it's going to get them involved and propel them to help their team more and help out with the urgent situations, because it will directly affect them (unlike right now, where all that "not doing well" affects is whether or not they get the jackpot reward).
